nt|pef: Nick Nickell's team for the semi-finals|pg||
mb|p|nt|migry: here we go|pg||
mb|1N|nt|pef: hi everyone|pg||
nt|kareno: So two practiced partnerships - one very old actually,  Chambers and Schermer.|pg||
mb|p|nt|pef: losing here doesn't mean it's all over.  The losers go into a "repechage" to determine who makes us USA II|pg||
mb|2D|nt|migry: 14-16 NT for EW|pg||
mb|p|mb|2H|mb|p|mb|2N|mb|p|mb|3H|mb|p|mb|4H|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|s4|nt|kareno: Welland starts with an aggressive game call after his partner (I believe) rejects an invitation.|pg||
nt|pef: with one sure club loser, willenken is going to have to judge well in trumps to make this|pg||
nt|kareno: This well may fetch and will depend on the play in the trump suit I would say.|pg||
nt|kareno: First round he will play to the eight.  Next round ... we'll have to wait.|pg||
nt|pef: but there's also the problem of taking two club finesses.  it can be done, but will take some care|pg||
nt|migry: opposite a heart fit i think the west hand is much better and the lead is helpful |pg||
nt|kareno: The lead leaves him conveniently in dummy for the first trump play.|pg||
nt|pef: yes, I agree, once partner showed a heart fit, seems right to bid game on welland's hand|pg||
pc|sQ|pc|s6|pc|s8|pg||
pc|h3|pc|h5|pc|h2|pc|hJ|pg||
nt|migry: this is a good start|pg||
nt|kareno: South would rather pass the lead to his partner!|pg||
nt|pef: as we can all see, they stopped in 3 in the open room, so a swing one way or the other right away|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d5|pc|d6|pc|dT|pg||
nt|kareno: South disclosing a lot of high-card values to declarer who may now play north for the heart ace!|pg||
nt|pef: well believe it or not, east now has enough pitches for 5 of dummies clubs, so can actually make an overtrick if he ruffs the 10 of spades, leads a heart, and guess right|pg||
nt|kareno: of course he doesn't know this yet.|pg||

pc|hT|pc|h7|pc|h8|pc|hA|pg||
pc|c7|nt|kareno: Now a club..|pg||
nt|pef: but he doesn't know diamonds are coming in, so he may finesse here anyway and make only 4|pg||
nt|migry: he will finesse|pg||
nt|pef: he's thinking about it|pg||
pc|cT|pc|cK|pc|c5|pg||
nt|pef: it was certainly the percentage play|pg||
pc|s7|pc|sA|pc|s5|nt|pef: so this will be 7 imps to welland|pg||

mb|p|mb|3N|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|pef: both teams with the 4333 seven count just bid 3n over an opening 2nt.  turns out both were wrong on a normal diamond lead. with 4h making fairly easily|pg||
nt|kareno: Interestingly all the teams that entered the last round with byes lost.|pg||
pc|d2|nt|kareno: It's a funny 4-3-3-3.  I would check for a heart fit - AK and emptiness looks more like suits to me.|pg||

pc|dK|pc|d9|pc|d4|nt|pef: and won the last round only because schermer and chambers bid a rather desperation slam on the last board of their match|pg||

pc|h3|pg||
pc|d8|pc|h5|pc|h7|nt|pef: i once saw someone do a simulation on those types of hands and it turned out it was still right to play in the 44 major suit fit at imps, at least|pg||

mb|2D!|nt|gavin: strange hand to evaluate|pg||
nt|kareno: Drury by Welland|pg||
nt|pef: 2c is drury, checking on how good an opener willenken had|pg||
mb|p|nt|kareno: But lots of play possibilities depending on suit fits.|pg||
nt|migry: 2@c is drury showing a good @h raise and 2@d is artificial showing a decent hand - not god enough to drive to game on its own|pg||
nt|migry: good|pg||
nt|pef: 2d a real opener, but not enough to bid game right away (or possibly planning to make a slam try later)|pg||
mb|3H|nt|migry: 2NT wd start the slam tries |pg||
mb|p|mb|4H|nt|gavin: 4h is a good spot vul at teams, its a 50% contract and they will win 10 imps if it makes and only lose 6 if it doesnt|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|kareno: Actually it's a respectable 4@h for teams pretty much on the trump finesse.|pg||
nt|pef: game here, pretty much on the heart finesse or a favorable opening lead of some type--worth bidding vul at imps, but likely to go down on this lie of the cards|pg||
nt|pef: but schermer might lead a spade and allow it to make|pg||
pc|s7|nt|pef: oh sorry, chambers on lead|pg||

nt|gavin: well done!|pg||
nt|kareno: :)|pg||
nt|pef: five imps to meltzer, then|pg||
nt|pef: south opened 1c in first seat (weinstein and garner play very light openers) which got rid of most of the opportunity for e/w to bid game|pg||
nt|gavin: sometimes its hard to stop yourself with 10 trumps and more than half the points to bid game in a major|pg||
nt|kareno: Switch the heart and spade kings and it will make|pg||

mb|d|nt|kareno: North and East need to get together on this hand for 7nt!|pg||
nt|pef: a preemptive 2h may not work well here|pg||
mb|p|mb|1S|nt|gavin: often with 5-4 in the majors over a 1m opening its correct to overcall your 5 card major rather than make a takeout double, this time however since willenken is strong enough to ...|pg||
nt|gavin: double and bid hearts, double is the perfect choice|pg||
nt|kareno: I'm a 2@c bidder with the west hand.  Don't like to bid three card major in this auction if I don't have to.|pg||
mb|1N|nt|pef: well that's an interesting bid from willenken's point of view.  Will he still bid 4s?|pg||
nt|gavin: willenken hears 1NT thinking "hmmmm"|pg||
nt|migry: another double from E?|pg||
nt|pef: I'm sure he was planning to do that without the schermer bid|pg||
mb|2D|mb|2H|mb|p|nt|kareno: Will Schermer now come in with his six-card heart suit having heard 'better than 1nt' from his partner.|pg||
nt|migry: another hmmm from willenken |pg||
nt|pef: and what will schermer do? now?|pg||
mb|3D|mb|3S|nt|kareno: Yes, those are rebiddable.|pg||
nt|pef: only 3s from willenken--wonder if that's forcing after 2d|pg||
nt|kareno: That should end the auction.|pg||
nt|pef: even if it is, welland may pass|pg||

nt|pef: willenken went from thinking he had a slam opposite as little as kjxx or kxxxx of spades with partner to now worrying about how many he's going down in 3s|pg||
nt|pef: bridge can be very depressing|pg||
pc|sK|pc|s3|pc|sJ|nt|migry: he had a slam - was he playing with north instead|pg||

pc|cK|nt|pef: larsen and meltzer "bought" the last hand in 3h e/w (west did bid 2c as karen suggested).  looks like that is going down 3, also, for an easy push :)|pg||
nt|gavin: those are pretty amazing methods for this hand|pg||
nt|pef: some specs are asking me what they think we should respond to the t/o double with west on the last hand|pg||
pc|c2|pc|c9|pc|c3|pg||
nt|pef: I agree with karen's 2c.  what do migry and gavin think?|pg||
nt|gavin: would you bid over 1H 1S 2H ?|pg||
nt|gavin: i think youre supposed to respond 2C|pg||
pc|s7|nt|gavin: i think bidding a major enduces partner to visualize more games|pg||
nt|pef: right|pg||
nt|gavin: when you are that weak theres a really good chance partner has a strong hand|pg||
nt|gavin: and bidding a major will only encourage their vision of a potential game|pg||
nt|pef: on this hand, it's awfully tempting to bid something like 2nt over 2h, isn't it at imps?|pg||
nt|pef: such good spots in the pointed suits|pg||
pc|s9|nt|gavin: killer hand|pg||
nt|gavin: no idea whats right|pg||
nt|gavin: probably not vul throwing int he towell in 2H is as good as anything|pg||
nt|gavin: 2NT is fine too|pg||
nt|gavin: who knows|pg||

nt|pef: 3h went down only 2, so the 5-1 fit turned out better than the 4-3|pg||

pc|d4|pg||
nt|migry: they open weak and if willenken had any interest he cd have bid 2d over 2c|pg||
nt|pef: yep|pg||
nt|pef: if you are going to routinely open so weak, you need these sorts of methods to avoid really silly contracts|pg||
